ABSTRACT

Mosquitoes have small and light bodies, free to fly in the air making them easy to carry by the wind, at night mosquitoes fly towards the light. The presence of mosquitoes can harm human health, because mosquitoes can transmit several diseases in human life. Researchers interested in controlling the mosquito population need to make an effort to reduce the mosquito population. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of modified ovitrap with purple light, with modified brown sugar and yeast fermentation bath, in the intervention group and the control group. Survey of mosquito locations as many as 36 bathrooms. Observational research, cross sectional study design. The survey data were analyzed using the chi-square test. The results of the study were that most of the 28 mosquitoes (77.8%) of the 36 mosquitoes were trapped in a purple lamp ovitrap in 50 ml of fermented water within 24 hours. Based on Chi-square analysis, the value of P = 0.004 < 0.05 was obtained. So Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted statistically there is a significant relationship between Mosquito Population Control With Purple Light Ovitrap Fermentation, against mosquitoes trapped in a purple light ovitrap device, with a fermentation bath. red and yeast effective, 4.10 times found the presence of trapped mosquitoes. Mosquito Population Control With Purple Light Ovitrap Fermentation.
